7.24.99Time: 9:45 PM CSTTV: One of those over-dramatic movies of the week.IM/ICQ: LindsayInternet:RICQuote: "my dorm found it quite strange to learn that i was a turtle" and "i got it right in dress rehearsal..but my bacon was there then" -Lindsay (while telling me about her time spent at camp)

I was told that last night at 4 in the morning, I walked into my mom's room, talked to her, layed down in her bed, got up, and then went back to bed. The really scary thing is that I remember NONE of this. This bothers me.

I got out of the shower this morning to the site of one HUGE mo-fo spider on the wall. Scared the piss outta me! It was probably only about the size of a quarter, but when you're scared everything seems bigger and more threatening than it actually is. So, while I dried off and got dressed, I watched this spider like we were having a staring contest. If I looked away for just one second, I was certain that was when he was going to make his move. Then, like the puss I am, I called for Mom to come and kill it. Mom to the rescue!

Thinking, thinking, thinking.....

Ah yes, I was watching tv today and a soccer game (or is it a match?) came on. I was too lazy to get up and change the channel to something, anything non-sports, so I watched it. Surprisingly, it wasn't half bad. I found myself coveting the goalie's jersey though. It was so cool. It was Neder green (non-RENT fans will have no idea what color I am talking about) and it was all shiny and cool. I really want one.

Tickets for St. Paul went on sale today, and did I get any? Nope. I mentioned it to both Mom and Jan and was basically ignored by each. That happens a lot with a lot of things though. And they wonder why I am always on the computer.

Am I the only one that thinks the promos for that new show "Cold Feet" are really funny? I might just have to watch that one this fall. Unless of course it is on at the same time as "Will & Grace." But I think they are both NBC, so that'll be kinda hard for them to be on at the same time. And WHY am I talking about tv listings?! Who knows!

RAGBRAI starts tomorrow. What is it? Well, it's an annuel bikeride across the state of Iowa. Each year, tens of thousands of people come from all over the world to ride their bike across Iowa. I question the sanity of these people. As a little "ceremony" they dip their bike tire in the Missouri River on the west border when they start their trip, and when they finish a week later, they dip it in the Mississippi River on the east border. Again....WHY?! Oh well, to each his own.

I'm eating the most delicious ice cream I have had in a long time. It is peach ice cream with a raspberry sorbet in it.

I think one of my friends is not as friendly with me anymore. What do I do about this? I can't really turn back the clock and undo things that have already been done. But I seriously sense some distance between us and it frightens me. If you're reading this, and hopefully you know who you are, I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
